    Slid (left to right) the silvery latch that's on the lid while gently pushing the lid upward.

    As for the expresscard slot, just push the button back in a little farther back then the edge of the laptop with your fingernail, and it will stay there until you push it again. Put the expresscard holder back in until you need to use it, to help keep dust etc. out.
